Modify basic format and layout

Modify basic format and layout

In many ways, 3D text is just like 2D text, and you can modify basic text attributes (including font, size, tracking, line spacing, and capitalization) the same way you modify those attributes for 2D text: by adjusting controls in the Format pane and Layout pane in the Text Inspector.

Note: To modify the depth, texture, and lighting attributes of 3D text, use the controls in the Appearance pane of the Text Inspector. For more information, see Modify depth, weight, edges, and corners, Materials overview, and Lighting overview.

Change text format settings

  • In the Layers list, Timeline, or Canvas, select a 3D text object, then open the Format pane of the Text Inspector and adjust font, size, alignment, line spacing, tracking and other basic attributes.
